Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code was a runaway success for Ron Howard and Imagine Entertainment back in 2006. But, after that film, the Robert Langdon-saga started to diminish in its returns. Howard has made the very smart move of taking this prequel novel and adapting it to the small screen this time around for Peacock. The Lost Symbol follows:

the early adventures of young Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon, who must solve a series of deadly puzzles to save his kidnapped mentor and thwart a chilling global conspiracy.

The series stars  Ashley Zukerman (“Succession”), Valorie Curry (“Blair Witch”), Sumalee Montano (“10 Cloverfield Lane”), Rick Gonzalez (“Arrow”), Eddie Izzard (“Ocean’s Thirteen”) and Beau Knapp (“Seven Seconds”). Dan Trachtenberg (“10 Cloverfield Lane”, “The Boys”) is directing the first episode. The series is once again produced through Ron Howard and Brian Grazer’s Imagine Entertainment.

Luckily, it’s no mystery when we will get to find out, as…

The Lost Symbol premieres its first episode on Peacock Thursday, September 16th. With new episodes every week after that.
